Hi there I am just about to start programming a 12F617 Do these problems still exist or are the problems solved with the newest version of flowcode? Let me know what your experiences are so I can decide if I should use this chip which I already have, or rather look for something else. I want to try ...

Thanks. It is now coming right with the delays etc. Now I added a Ntc temperature sensor. I make it to display the temperature reading by default. And at the pusching of a button it should display the voltage of the Battery. However it seems the 16f1939 chip does not read the Input. When I press the...

Thanks now i put on auto clear and now it works with the watchdog timer on. I changed the program to read as intern, and put a formula to double the int. So the maximum reading could be 20.46 volts. For measuring up to 20 Volts I put a voltage divider and Adjusted the potentiometer so the reading is...

In chip options I disabled MCLR and I also disabled the watchdogtimer.
Since then the display is steady.
So I guess the problem is solved.
Thanks to all who helped to make a success of my first program.

Excellent!!! :D :D :D This link provided the solution. I inserted the custom code, into the ADC settings and now the ADC is working properly. Does the C file provided on the link also work for the Pic 16F1939? There is still a small bug, when I look carefully every few seconds the display briefly go...

Thanks Martin for the new Program. Now it does not give any serious error messages when downloading to the chip. Caution: argument of 'delay_us' calls must have a value of 1 or more Caution: Delay inaccurrate: 'delay_us', Delay overhead:0.01ms, Unit delay:0.001ms, Delay resolution:4 units Warning un...

Hi again, Here is a summary of all my findings. I changed the Program a bit according to my understanding "osccon=0x60;" Is 2Mhz on a 1939 Chip So I changed it to "osccon=0x68" wich is 4Mhz acccording to my understanding. Is that correct? If pin ADC4 is connected it gives me same random numbers. 0.0...

My setup is like this, I get power from a battery, that then goes trough a voltage regulator. I want to measure the voltage of the battery that is supplying power it will be a 12 volt battery. In order to measure the voltage I made a voltage divider with one 1 K resistor connected to vss, the other ...

Ok at the beginning of refresh I added the calculation voltage = 320 and it shows 3.20 and it stays there.
Te refresh rate is abit slow and the numbers are flickering.
Also I tried what happens when I configure ADC5 which is not connected and it also shows random numbers.
Thanks

Thanks for your time and the program. However it still does not work properly. Actual voltage is about 2.3 volts but it jumps between 0.00 0.70 1.50 2.50 and 3.70 I still do not understand what the problem might be. Still it is an interesting program where could I read up more about the MOD function...

I changed the Program a bit I got it working now it can display any number i enter it into "voltage = 5798" etc. However if i use the adc macro to displaay a battery voltage it works on flowcode but on real hardware it displays different numbers at random "7.68 or 00.00 or 2.56 or 5.12" What am I do...

:D I just got it running. I used the Bc337 transistors with a 1K resisor. Now it is displaying the number that I program into it. I want to take it a step further and display an internal value from an adc Converter. What do I need to modify on my program so it will display an Int value as a number w...

So I Guess project options compiles the program for the oscillator speed and "osccon" sets the oscillator to run on the correct speed.
Is that correct?

Thanks for all the Advice. Your welcome. I did not use oscon but set the speed in the Project options. Does this work as well? Probably not work well at all. The OSC in the project options are just for all the timings, eg. delays. It will not force the actual osc speed of the chip to change to the ...

Thanks a lot.
I have Looked at the 7 segment E-Block's datasheet.
The transistor is a sot 23 package, difficult for beginners is there an equavelant in a 3 Legged package?

Thanks thats a lot of Information. Ok I will try to add the c code to my program. Which speed do I need for a seven segment display and two ADC sensors, Is 4 MHz enough? I do not know exactly what is common anode or common cathode all I know it needs a Positive voltage on the common terminals in ord...

Thanks for all the Advice. I got my Chip programmed and it is running. I did not use oscon but set the speed in the Project options. Does this work as well? I have a little problem with the four digit 7 Segment display. So all the polarities are the opposite way around. For this reason the display d...

Thanks for all your advice.
I could select the correct chip.
And changed to expert mode. Now there are more options for the Oscillator, but I still can not find an internal one.
What is it called in Expert mode?

I tried to program a chip with Flowcode 4 But there is a problem. If I try to configure the chip It does not allow the Chip 16F1939 Aso the Option Internal Oscillator ist not available. When I press Autodetect it says Usb Cable not Connected. I am using Pickit2 and the Pic Kit 2 Programm finds the c...

Ok now I have received everything.

Thanks I finally have received a response by email.
Also I got the shipping Information and expect the parcel schould be coming soon.

Thanks for your Message
The Email Address I got from World pay was
orders { A T } matrixmultimedia.co.uk
But now I also Tried the one you sent me lets see what happens.

Hi there. This may be out of topic. Moderator please move it to the right area of the Forum. I have a big problem. I have ordered flowcode 4 The payment has been made. But no payment confirmation and no shipping confirmations. Except a message from Worldpay. I have been waiting for more than ten day...
